What happens if a big asteroid hits the Earth? Judging from realistic simulations involving a sledge hammer and a common laboratory frog, we can assume it will be pretty bad. - Dave Barry

nihil,
That Paragon Partition looks like it mit be what I'm looking for to load suse and rh on the same drive. I'll down load it and let you know how it works mikem0327. Instead of tring to partition xp and linux on the same drive, see if you can find an old use HD and put your linux on that. I tell you, it is easier and safer to do it that way. I just simply put in the boot disk for linux and the linux HD drive is working. That way there is no fear of the xp drive getting screwed with. Just my thoughts.

It looks like it will be very good, but there are many functions that are turned off till you buy it. Only the demo is for free. It showed me what my hard drives looked like but that was about it. I think it was $20. Even a youth person like yourself should be able to come up with a 20 spot. Try washing mom and dad's car for a couple of weeks. Pull some weeds out of the flower bed. Well, good luck mikeod0327.

I would recommend Mandrake's DiskDrake as an extremely viable alternative to Partition Magic. It has nondestructive resizing and lots of other nifty features you normally find in commercial appilcations. For basic partitioning, it's all you need IMO.

I don't actually use Mandrake, but I do keep a spare CD1 lying around for just that purpose.
